Restore Failure from Drive Image backup

I have just restored three OS partitions from backups made by Drive Image 7.  My problem is that one of them failed to boot, and the follwing error messages were returned:
Broadcom UNDI PXE-2.1(Build 082) v6.2.11
Copyright(c)  2000-2003 Broadcom Corp
Copyright(c)  1997-2000 Intel Corp
PXE-EC1: Base-code ROM ID Structure was not found
PXP-MOF: Exiting Broadcom PXE ROM.
DISK BOOT FAILURE, INSERT SYSTEM DISK AND PRESS ENTER
I have never seen this error message. Please anyone help.

This often happens in boot info gets damaged or altered, then its FIXMBR to restore it.

I am very interested in the above and would like to understand fully what it means.
I think I am knowledgeable about OS boot process but failed to relate it to your above response.
First of all, I am not familiar with booting from network drive.  Could you tell me how to set BIOS or something to do it?  Then, please explain in more detail, how does "lost cluster" in the partition causes to the system to attempt booting from network drive even though no network boot is set up for.
The following is specific questions about your response:
1) Is the file referred to in "a corrupted file header"  one in the boot sector?
2) You indicate "If the OS can't find the nominated boot disk" but the OS is not up yet. Isn't it MBR which points to boot drive(partition)? Please note in my case the MBR was not damaged.
Your answer to my general question above may surfice instead.

    Circle and cross through iTunes icon: had the seagate hard drive replaced and restored data from time machine backup. Why does the iTunes icon have a circle and cross through it? As though incomplete? tried everything and still Circle and cross through iTunes icon.

    No it isn't something you'd find on the computer, it has to be custom installed from the 10.6 installer disc or Software Update if it wasn't before.  It allows you to use older PowerPC applications on your Mac.   On the other hand double check the version of iTunes you have does not require 10.7 minimum either.

    Unfortunately yes.
    Also run the Cleaner Tool prior to reinstalling
    Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6
    Restoring from Time Machine backups invariably breaks the activation mechanism (Error 150:30) and there's no easy way to fix a 150:30 error other than via re-installing.

  • HT201250 (1) Where is the "Time Machine menu" and the choice to "Enter Time Machine" (mentioned in the "Restoring data from Time Machine backups" section)?

    1) Where do I find the "Time Machine menu" and the choice to "Enter Time Machine" (as mentioned in the "Restoring data from Time Machine backups" section in the Mac Support article "Mac Basics: Time Machine")?
    2) How would I restore e.g. a particular photo from a backup I made with Time Machine? I can see how this is done with Word documents, but can't see how to do it with photos?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    1. The Time Machine icon is on the menu bar.
    2. If you want to do that with individual photos, it's the same way as for documents. If you want to do it with iPhoto, you have to restore the whole iPhoto library, not only one photo

    How to restore Data from past iCloud backup?
    Is there a way where i can retrieve my spreadsheets from the past iCloud backup of numbers?

    Your Numbers documents were synced with iCloud so they would be stored on the server rather than being included in the backup.  If you were signed into your iCloud account on a Mac that you were backing up with Time Machine, you could restore them from your Time Machine backup.

  • Upgrade MacBook Hard Drive - Restore System from Time Machine Backup?

    I have a MacBook that I want to upgrade the hard drive of. Am I right in thinking, all I need to do is:
    Run Time Machine one last time, to make a recent backup of the MacBook
    Install the new hard drive in the MacBook
    Insert the Snow Leopard DVD, and start a clean installation
    During installation, select the option to Restore System From Backup...
    Will this copy across ALL of the contents of the old MacBook's hard drive, to the new MacBook's hard drive? A perfect clone? Because that's what I want to do.

    I performed the installation, restoring a Time Machine backup from the external hard drive to the new blank internal one I put inside the MacBook. Everything went fine, except for one problem.
    Now, whenever I try to open Safari, it immediately crashes with the error message:
    "Safari quit unexpectedly
    Exception Type: EXC_BAD_ACCESS (SIGSEGV)"
    What's going on? How can I stop Safari from doing this? I've repaired permissions using Disk Utility, and Spotlight has finished re-indexing everything.

  • Restoring iMovie from a TM backup to a different drive.

    My hard drive containing all my media failed today and I want to restore everything from a Time Machine backup to a different drive. Can someone tell what is the best way to do this for iMovie so that iMovie keeps all the links intact?

    This happened to me last week, but it was slightly different. OSX warned me that the drive was failing so I was able to get most of the Projects off before it finally failed.
    I think this will work for you.
    First you need an external drive that will hold your Projects and Events from the failed drive. It must be formatted as Mac OS Extended (Journaled). You can format it in Disk Utility if you need to.
    Note: Since you have a Mac Pro, you probably have an extra internal drive, which is fine, too. Just don't put it on your boot drive.
    Open Time Machine, and navigate to the failed drive.
    The failed drive is no longer attached so it will not show up in the Time Machine finder view. You will need to click on the top line under "Devices". It should be named something like "MagicPony's Mac Pro". Under this heading, if you go back in time before your drive failed, you should see the drive.
    Now, having found the last good version of your Projects and Events, you can restore them to the open drive.
    Select the iMovie Projects folder, and click the gear icon in the top bar. Select Restore iMovie Projects to... and navigate to your open drive.
    Now do the same thing with your iMovie Events folder.
    When you are done, the iMovie Projects folder and the iMovie Events folder should be at the top level of the target drive.
    This should work. As long as the Events and Projects are on the same drive, I think iMovie will find them. If you have other Events on a different drive, that is OK too, because they are still at the same path.
    You will have to start (or restart) iMovie for it to see the Projects.
    If you have trouble, let me know.

  • Cannot Restore Client from WSE 2012R2 Backup

    I have just setup a home server using WSE 2012R2. Everthing seems to be working well. Clients backing up OK. One machine has just about maxed out its 256GB SSD (backups have just stopped because of insufficient space) so I thought I'd replace it with a 512GB
    SSD from another machine. So following directions I created a USB boot stick. No problem. However I simply cannot get the client to boot from the stick despite many tries, resetting the bios to boot from USB CDROM (which instructions seem to favor), USB HDD
    etc., The USB works I know that.
    So I thought I'd try another approach. I installed Win7 Pro on the new HD and connected the machine to the Server, then setup the restore environment and did a restore from the dashboard of the client machine. No Go! Files are copied to a "Restore"
    Folder, and the machine fails to copy 30 files because the file name string would be too long. Then it quits, leaving me with 239 GB of files in a folder instead of a restore. This is not helping...
    So much for doing backups! Any ideas out there?

    I am restoring a Lenovo X201 laptop with Win 7 Pro installed on Drive C (boot), trying to migrate from 256 GB to 512 GB. The WSE 2012R2 equipped Server has been doing backups of the C drive for the last week or so as well as another half-dozen machines.
    Searching technet, I found a guide (http://technet.microsoft.com/library/jj713516.aspx). Also, just following the Dashboard instructions(Devices> Client Computer Backup Tasks) indicates that a USB stick with the  recovery key would allow access to
    the server's backups for the machine. The problem seemed to be that the machine would not boot from the stick. I tried re-installing several times, different bios settings etc., and never could get the stick to boot. 
    The other recovery method, again as indicated in the Technet article above or the "Client Computer Backup Task" (3rd tab), is to use the "Client Restore Service". The instructions are a
    bit vague..(How can you restore to a machine you can't boot?). Also when I eventually tried (after I booted the machine with a Win7 Pro disk) all it did was copy the entire drives worth of files into a single "Restore" folder. Not very helpful.
    I also had image backups of the drive that I had made using Acronis 2014 onto an external drive. So I made a recovery CD there and booted the machine figuring I'd restore the image. However after loading properly, the program would freeze preventing any
    recovery actions. I had a go-round with then, downloaded the latest recovery media etc., no dice.
    So I finally solved the problem of upgrading to the 512 GB drive by downloading EaseUS's free workstation backup software and imaging one drive to the other using their recovery media. I never heard of EaseUS before. They are located in the Chinese city
    of Chendu. The recovery media booted up the first time, I imaged the drive over in a few hours and was done.
    I think i'm going to buy the software for all my workstations and the Server too. AS A FOOTNOTE. After all was back to normal, I checked the Client Computer backups on the server. It said no backups were being done because the backup database was corrupted
    (did not say that when I started all this) So I checked and repaired the database overnight and it is working again.
    However, this machine and the 15 TB of drives is brand new, and has been working for about 2 weeks. I have lost confidence in the Servers usefulness and reliability for doing backups that are worthwhile. I'm very happy I did this before I was in crisis mode
    trying to recover valuable data.

  • Restore mail from af Timemachine backup

    Hello.
    My server crashed some days ago due to a harddisk failure.
    I had a Timemachine backup from the server, but you can't restore a server that way, so I installed from fresh.
    Now I'm missing a lot of mails
    Is it possible, to restore the mails from the timemachine backup?
    Hoping for a good answer.

    Hi Thomas,
    first of all, if you have some mails in your backup, ignore the following answer, otherwise take a line of coke before.
    I don't want to frighten you but I experienced a crash a couple of years ago and I remember that I was very surprised that Time Machine does NOT backup /var (where mails are stored). I had to explain to my users that all their mails was lost.
    Since this day, I use mailbfr to backup the mail database.

  • Should I restore catalogue from a previous backup

    I just managed to crash LR (4.1) big time, resulting in a BSOD and immediate Windows shutdown. I have no idea what triggered this: both LR and my PC are usually very reliable, and in fact my PC has never before blue screened on me. At the time, LR was building a collection.
    I re-booted and checked over my catalogue in LR, focusing on the images I'd been working on prior to the crash (all in the same folder on my HD). I see no obvious corruption with the images I was working on; in fact LR even managed to complete the collection. I allowed it to check the catalogue integrity and it found no issues. However I now have a nagging doubt that perhaps I'm overlooking something... Do you think it might be worth my while to restore from a previous backup, just to be sure no corruption has managed to rear its head in my catalogue, or do you think that, based on the lack of any warning signs, I should be OK?
    This raises another related question: how do you know that a catalogue is corrupted at all? Does LR give you any warning/error message?
    M

    There's no obvious warning signs for a corrupted catalog; no one can tell you check A, B and C to determine if the catalog is corrupted.
    However, there is a sign that it is not corrupted, and that's the integrity check, which apparently passed. I would worry no more about this.
    By the way, I have the occasional blue screen of death crashes, these are not normally caused by Lightroom, but usually hardware or video drivers are the culprit. I have never had problems with my Lightroom catalog when LR was open and the computer crashed.

  • Restore BOOTCAMP from .dmg image - Unable to scan (invalid argument)

    I'm having trouble getting my maching back in order after a crash.  I'm running a MacBook Pro 13" mid-2009 with a Bootcamp partition.  Last week my harddrive crashed or something and I wasn't able to boot into either drive.  Using the Snow Leopard install DVD and Disk Utility I made .dmgs of the entire HD and each of the partitions (Mac HD and Bootcamp - maybe overkill but..).  I have since been able to restore my Mac side from the image, even without installing OSX - I just restored from the image using Disk Util again and everything seems to work fine.  But, now I've been trying to do the same thing with my Bootcamp side - I have a separate .dmg for that.  Everything seems to go fine except that when I try to restore it tells me the image needs to be scanned and when I scan I get the error message: "Unable to scan BOOTCAMP.dmg (invalid argument)".  I've tried using different schemes of compression/ no compression on the image, tried to convert to a .cdr then rename to .iso and restore using Windows' native Recovery option. I even tried Terminal - sudo asr restore -noverify -source _________ -target __________ , but it wouldn't let me drag and drop in the Bootcamp drive icon...
    Now I don't know what to do but ask.
    Has anyone solved this problem????

    Hi, and thanks for your reply.
    Is there anyway I can convert my .dmg or .cdr/.iso to something that winclone can use?
    ps I did finally get Disk Utility to scan the image.  I had to convert it to a compressed .dmg from the uncompressed one and it finished it fine but still in Restore in Disk Util. I can't set the destination as my bootcamp partition.
    Looks like I'll have to reinstall everything then eh? Well thanks for your help.

  • RESTORE SYSTEM FROM DISK IMAGE

    Hi people,
    I was wandering if anyone could help me with this little thing. I hate Time Machine, so that's not a viable solution for my inquiry. What I want to do is migrate my whole SL system from my old MacBook to my new one. Is it possible to create a Disk Image of my old MacBook's Hard Drive with Disk Utility or any other software and then restore SL from it in my new one?
    *I know many of you may think TM is great, but I don't like it, so PLEASE spare me from lectures on why I should use it. I know I sound harsh, but every time I post something like this ten out of every eleven responses are about that.
    *PLEASE, I BEG you, don't inquire upon why I want to do it this way. Again, I sound mean, but most of the responses I get are usually a pile of uselessness that just takes up space and doesn't help.
    Thanks a lot for your time,
    ThePhazonMonkey

    Thomas is right. Restoring an older Mac's "whole SL system" (which I take to mean the entire contents of its startup disk) to a different one is a bad idea, whether you do it with a disk image, clone, or that app you hate so much.
    In the first place, there is no guarantee that the OS version on an older Mac will have all the files needed to support the newest ones, so all you may get for your efforts is a new Mac that won't boot at all or kernel panics soon afterwards.
    In the second, there is no guarantee that all the user & system settings from one Mac will be compatible with those of another. The OS will do its best to compensate for this, for instance by using defaults when the other Mac's settings are invalid or incompatible, but the process is not foolproof & you may experience instabilities or unexpected behavior that will be hard to track down & remedy.
    Do as Thomas suggests & use Migration Assistant, or better yet use Setup Assistant on the first startup of a new Mac to avoid any problems with duplicate user account names. (You cannot merge two existing user accounts with any automated software because each has its own set of home folder items that will conflict with the other's, so you must manually choose which ones to use with the account you want to keep.)

  • Restored system from Time Machine backup disk but the system could not start-up

    On MacBook Pro early 2008, restored the entire system from Time Machine backup disk to the entire disk.
    The previous system on the backup disk had FileVault turned on.
    The restore completed successfully and I was prompted to restart the system via the new restored system disk.
    I heard the normal start-up sound, then the Apple logo, but it stuck at the logo screen. And the cooling fan run at almost full speed?
    I have been waiting for a few hours, guessing it might FileVault the disk.
    Finally I have to shutdown the machine as it stuck at the logo screen forever.
    Anyone has the same issue? Any ideas?

    BTW, I also tried Repair the system disk, Fix permissions via Disk Utility.
    I guess I must lose some files either during the backup or the restore.
